After saying their good-byes to
family and friends, the VP-16
"War Eagles" are settling
in with new routines on their six-
month deployment to three different
locations Italy, El Salvador and
Djibouti.
Though the squadron is going in
three directions at once cooperation
and cohesion among the detachments
is still the order of the day for the War
Eagles.
Over the past year, squadron per-
sonnel worked hard to sharpen their
skills as they trained up for overseas
missions. Fresh off the change of com-
mand where Cmdr. Mark Melson took
charge of the War Eagles as skipper,
the squadron wrapped up their train-
ing and prepared themselves and
their families for the six months of
difficult, yet rewarding work.
Through late May and early June,
the War Eagles carried out a major
pack out plan and airlift schedule
to get men, women and equipment
moved from the shores of the St.
Johns River to the three locations
from which crews will operate. The
squadron had to ensure that all of the
functions that are normally performed
in one place could be managed at each
site by getting the right people and
the support they need in key spots.
A single maintenance department
now has to do same job in three plac-
es to support each detachment. So
far, so good, as the War Eagles find
that their hard work over the past 18
months is paying off.
"The challenges of a tri-site deploy-
ment are unique. We have to take into
account all of the usual factors that
you address in preparing for an over-
seas movement but in this case,
each of the three sites has its own
challenges to address. We need to

months pay off in safe and successful missions.

get the right people to the right place,
so that being spread across three
deployment sites doesn't impact our
ability to execute our mission," says
Executive Officer Brad Rosen. "The
various environments can also be
challenging. Jacksonville is hot in the
summer, but it's a vacation compared
to the summer climate in Djibouti."
Lt. John Gerweck adds, "Its just
something that you have to embrace
and learn to work with."
In addition to seeing different parts
of the world, the crews are eager to
get to work, too. The missions that
squadron will execute while deployed
across the globe represent the full rep-
ertoire of their aircraft's capabilities
as a maritime patrol and reconnais-
sance platform.
The squadron will fly their
Lockheed P-3C Orions in support
of the war on drugs in South and
Central America, as well as support
to coalition forces engaged in mari-
time security operations off the coast

Navy Region Southeast.
"This represents an opportunity to
discuss the P-8A Poseidon transition

"VP-30 has a long history of work-
ing with international aviation stu-
dents and the Indian Navy will be

sations cover the full spectrum of this
installation's area of responsibility,
which includes some excellent train-
ing ranges, both on land and under
water," said Lemmons.
"We need to ensure this base pro-
vides the most effective ways to sup-
port and train P-8 personnel, and it
is important to share U.S. Navy 'best

As part of the Global Maritime
Strategy to build and strengthen rela-
tionships with our partners, CNO
Adm. Gary Roughead visited India
April 10-16.
During his tour, he said, "The
strong relationship our navies enjoy
today would not exist without trust
and an open dialogue between the
leaders of both navies."
The government of India signed a
contract in January 2009 with The
Boeing Company of Seattle, Wash.
for the purchase of eight P-8I aircraft
with options for four additional air-
craft to upgrade their maritime recon-
naissance force.

The P-8I is the Indian Navy variant
of the P-8A Poseidon that Boeing is
developing for the U.S. Navy.

Fleet Readiness

Center earns

world-class honors

By Marsha Childs
FRCSE Public Affairs

The Targeting, Surveillance and Radar Systems
(TSRS) Shop at Fleet Readiness Center
Southeast (FRCSE) took possession of the
Shingo Bronze Medallion for excellence that was ini-
tially presented May 20 at a ceremony in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
Commander Fleet Readiness Centers Rear Adm.
Timothy Matthews delivered the award May 27 during
the two-day "Boots on the Ground" leadership confer-
ence at FRCSE on board NAS Jacksonville.
Electronics Mechanic Supervisor Barry Dean accept-
ed the award on behalf of the TSRS team. He is cred-
ited for his effective leadership and creating a culture
of continuous improvement through employee empow-
erment. Yet, Dean credits the shop's artisans for spear-
heading the Herculean effort.
"This is a very prestigious international award," said
Dean. "There were at least 60 companies represented
at the ceremony in Utah. Just to be recognized, you
are well on your way. The level of effort these artisans
made to keep our focus was incredible. Everything we
do here is touch labor and we turn out a turret in 21
days without a problem."
The TSRS team implemented a cellular production
line using single-piece flow methodology for the AN/
AAS-44(V) Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) system,
a passive method of determining bearing, course and
speed of a target by viewing the scene as an infrared
image. The streamlined process significantly reduced
costs and cycle time while maintaining a high degree
of quality.
The U.S. Navy and Raytheon Company established
the government and private industry partnership to
repair the Multi-spectral Targeting System (MTS)
installed on Navy and Marine Corps multi-mission
helicopters.
In April, Raytheon certified six FRCSE artisans to
perform depot-level repairs on the FLIR system. The
workers completed eight weeks of classroom instruc-
tion and hands-on training.
Of the 21 employees who work in the TSRS, 18 are
directly involved with the FLIR system. The workers
repaired the first turret by the end of March and have
completed nine to date.
FRCSE Commanding Officer Capt. Paul Sohl
thanked the artisans for their significant achievement.
"Ultimately this partnership will provide our troops
with a reliable, quality product when they need it,"
said Sohl. "We are bringing the best of what industry
and the government have to offer. This synergistic

Who's in favor ofyear-round school?

By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
Monday I went to the grocery
store to stock up on food for
the week. By noon Tuesday,
most of what I bought was gone. It is
officially summer.
If you need me, I will either be
restocking the pantry or drying pool
towels. I hardly have a spare moment
to respond to one of the 400 times my
boys say, "I'm bored" or "I'm hungry."
I tried to return the kids to their
teachers. "I'll be back at three o'clock
to pick them up," I said when I went
to the school on the first day of sum-
mer vacation to drop off a gift. Ford's
third-grade teacher just smiled and
laughed. She thought I was joking.
On the other hand, I enjoy my new,
leisurely mornings by sleeping in to 7
a.m. My older boys (Ford and Owen)
eventually feed themselves. My young-
est (Lindell) isn't as understanding,
so I let him snuggle in my bed as he
sings the Scooby Doo theme over and
over.
Speaking of Scooby, during the
school year, I tried to hide Lindell's
habit of acting like a dog from his
older, cooler brothers. They didn't
know that Lindell will fetch a soft,
stuffed ball and bring it back in his
mouth.
Ford looked stunned the first time
Lindell said, "You be the owner and
I'll be the dog."
He then got on his hands and knees
and panted. Owen smiled at the obvi-
ous opportunities.
"Fetch my Darth Vadar toy," he told

That's my two cents' worth.

Lindell. And then, "Okay puppy, now
lay down and go to sleep."
Why didn't I use this tactic at 6
a.m.?
My biggest complaint about summer
is the endless snacking. One day, the
door on the pantry and the door at the
front porch slammed so frequently,
it began to sound like music. Bang,
smack, bang.
When I dared to get up from my
computer (I'm not on summer break,
by the way) and venture into the
kitchen, I found a trash can full of
empty wrappers and chewed up bub-
ble gum. I opened the pantry. It had
been raided.
The next time I heard the front
door slam, I yelled, "I hope you're not
coming in for snacks."
A moment later, the back door
slammed. I poked my head out the
window and said, "Don't bother com-
ing in for food; you've eaten all of it."
No one heard me. There was a pile
of boys in the backyard wrestling for
the super soaker water gun.
While folding laundry upstairs, the
front door slammed again, followed by
what sounded like a herd of cattle.
"No more snacks," I yelled down-
stairs. The backdoor slammed.
When I returned to the kitchen,
it was apparent they weren't listen-
ing. So I grabbed my Sharpie pen and
wrote sticky notes instead.
"Only 3 snacks a d.iyI

IF YOU HAVE A COOKING FIRE...
III Just get out! When you leave, close the door
behind you to help contain the fire.
Ill Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you
leave.
Ill If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting
out and you have a clear way out.
Ill Keep a lid nearby when you're cooking to smother
small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid
over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the
pan covered until it is completely cooled.
Ill For an oven fire turn off the heat and keep the door
closed.

"Think before you grab have you
just eaten?"
"When this food is gone, I'm not get-
ting more until Monday."
"Stop slamming the front door!"
I placed the notes in strategic loca-
tions: on the box of Nilla Wafers,
beside the front door, on the television
screen, inside the fridge. When I went
back upstairs to finish the laundry, I
smiled at my cleverness.
A few minutes later, the front door
slammed. Their giggling and stomp-
ing stopped. They were reading.
"Huh, what's this mean?" one of them
said. "Only three snacks a day?"
When his father, Dustin, came home
from work, Owen looked scared as
he told him, "There are notes every-
where, Dad. She's put them every-
where."
The next day, the boys never
stopped talking about food. "Can
we have our first snack now, Mom?"
"Does an apple count as a snack?"
"Stop talking about food!" I
screamed. "Can't you think about any-
thing else."
Ford and Owen looked sideways at
each other. Then Ford said, "It's kind
of hard not to think about food when
these notes are all over the place."
He had a point. Still, as I stomped
up the stairs for some alone time, I
heard Owen ask, "So does this mean
we can have our second snack now?"
Lindell barked, "Res, Raggy."

'Dangerous Men'

From Navy Personnel
Command Public Affairs
There are currently 16,000
Navy families enrolled in the
Exceptional Family Member
Program (EFMP), but some Sailors
are not updating their packages
before entering their detailing win-
dow.
"Enrollment in the EFM program
is mandatory for all family members
with long-term medical, mental health
or educational needs and is required
immediately upon identification of
a special need," said Cmdr. Cynthia
Granby, EFMP branch head at Navy
Personnel Command. "Before a detail-
er can release orders, an updated
EFM status is needed. The sponsor
is responsible for knowing his or her
EFM update timeframe and for updat-
ing the file prior to negotiating for
orders. Local coordinators at the near-
est Military Treatment Facility can
be contacted to confirm update status
and timeframe."
Family member status updates
are required nine months prior to
a Sailor's Projected Rotation Date,
every three years, or whenever the

enrolled member's need changes.
Temporary enrollments (Category
VI) must be updated within a year of
assignment. The EFMP is required
for authorized family members who
possess a physical, emotional, devel-
opmental or educational disability -
or a condition that requires special
medical, mental health or education
services and reside with or are in the
custody of a Sailor.
Enrollment ensures family mem-
bers' needs are identified so that
Sailors are stationed where those
needs can best be met.
"The program is a benefit for
Sailors and commands," said
Kathleen Wells, Navy EFMP man-
ager. "It's available to help allevi-
ate hardships on family members by
ensuring their special needs are con-
sidered in the detailing process."
"EFMP remains flexible," Granby
said. "Once the sponsor enrolls and
family needs are identified, he/she
will have a good chance at obtaining a
career enhancing assignment."
EFMP families are classed into one
of six categories. For those families
who have been designated categories

IV and V, the Navy has a separate
EFMP Respite Care, which provides
up to 40 hours of free, in-home care
for exceptional family members and
their siblings.
"Many family members enrolled
in the program have complex needs
that cannot be met using typical in-
home care," said Sharon Fatheree,
Navy Child and Youth Programs, out-

"The respite care is provid-
ed through the Child and Youth
Programs and was designed to offer
parents in-home care with specialized
providers trained to meet the indi-

A/C credits and rebates still available

By Cliff Plante
Special contributor

t's apparent that the summer
temperatures have arrived.
Extended operation of your
home cooling system will inflate
your utility bill over the next few
months as the steamy summer
heat continues unabated until
late fall.
I have mentioned the avail-
ability of federal tax credits for
replacement of existing air con-
ditioning or heat pump systems.
The replacement equipment must
meet Seasonal Energy Efficiency
Ratio (SEER) criteria based
on type of application, and be
installed in an existing primary

residence.
This program is still avail-
able and runs through the end
of December. To see if you quali-
fy, refer to the following website:
http://www.energystar.gov/index.
cfm?c=taxcredits.txindex
Several utility companies offer
rebates in addition to the federal
tax credits. Locally, Clay Electric
Cooperative offers rebates of $100
to $500 depending on the tonnage
of equipment and SEER of the
system.
Florida Power and Light offers

rebates ranging from $140 to
$1,930 again based on tonnage
and SEER of replacement system.
Jacksonville Electric Authority
offers a $25 mail-in rebate for
Energy Star room air conditioners
purchased before September 30.
You may want to get a pro-
fessional to assist in your siz-
ing and selection of replacement
equipment. Reliable contractors
will test your existing HVAC by
inspecting ductwork, airflow and
other components to determine
your replacement needs.

Be sure to get at least three
bids from qualified and licensed
air conditioning contractors
before making a purchase. Also,
make sure the contract propos-
al addresses everything that the
contractor intends to do in the
way of removal and installation of
your new system.
Make sure the contractor
obtains all necessary permits and
notifies county officials to inspect
the system proper operation prior
to making final payment. Clay
Electric requires written proof

that your system was inspected
before they will provide a rebate.
Cliffs other cooling tips:
Use ceiling fans when operat-
ing your air conditioner. You can
raise the temperature set point at
the thermostat as much as three
degrees and still feel as cool.
Remember to turn the ceiling fan
off when leaving the room.
*For controlling humidity and
saving energy, set the fan con-
trol on your thermostat to "auto"
to allow the system to cycle only
when the compressor is running.
If you have windows with
western exposure, close blinds
or curtains in the afternoon to
reduce heat transfer from the sun
into your home.

Navy Band Southeast
(NBSE) stood up in October
1995 to provide musical
support for official Navy
functions, such as change
of commands, parades and
public concerts.
One outstanding trait of
NBSE musicians is that
their passion for music is
evident in every perfor-
mance. This is the reason
why the invites to perform
never let up. The band is
already scheduled for more
than 600 events from May
2010 through May 2011.
NBSE has built an excel-
lent reputation for qual-
ity musical performances
for a variety of venues.
More than 45 professional
musicians are assigned
to NBSE, all of whom are
graduates of the Armed
Forces School of Music.
Under the direction of Lt.
Charles Roegiers, they
rehearse up to 30 hours
each week in addition to
maintaining a very busy
performance schedule.
"The Fourth of July is
day off for most people, but
the there are troops fight-
ing over seas 24/7 and the
Navy Band is honored to
show our appreciation to
those who sacrifice for our
nation," said MUC Vincent
Burrell."
Navy Band Southeast is
comprised of six perform-
ing units. The band also
has solo guitarists, pia-
nists and vocalists who
perform year round. Solo
vocalists traditionally sing
the national anthem at
opening ceremonies. The
NBSE's Jazz Ensemble
has entertained thousands
of audiences throughout
the Southeastern United
States, Puerto Rico and
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
with Latin beats and jazz

The challenge ofparenting: Part 3 of 3

By Chaplain (It.) Justin Top
Special Contributor

Research shows there are

three important condi-
tions parents can provide
for their children that make a
measurable difference in their
emotional and social develop-
ment. Each article in this series
focuses on one of the three pil-
lars of parenting: love, limits,
and latitude.
Pillar No. 3 Latitude
(Psychological Autonomy)
While it is important to regu-
late your children's behavior,
the ultimate goal is for them to
regulate their own behavior (this
is called behavioral autonomy).
Before they can really do that,
they need to develop their own
set of values and to create a
healthy worldview. Psychological
Autonomy, the freedom to think
in their own way, is extremely
important to a child's develop-
ment.
Some parents use psychological
and emotional control to keep the
children in line. Though it is very
effective at controlling a child's
actions, the long term develop-
mental effects on children can be
disastrous. Research has linked

CHAPLAIN'S CORNER

psychological control to poor per-
formance in school or career, low
self-esteem, and depression. It
also promotes suicide ideation,
sexual promiscuity, and eating
disorders. Here are some dos and
don't for psychological autonomy.
Don't
Withdraw love to pun-
ish or control your children.
Silent treatments, cold shoulder
and denial of affection are exam-
ples of withdrawal of love.
Use guilt as a weapon. It
is okay for them to feel guilt if
it comes from themselves. But
when you try to manipulate that
guilt by being dramatic or putting
down the child, you risk damag-
ing their self confidence.
Mock or belittle your chil-
dren. Making them feel bad
about themselves, even as a pun-
ishment, is never good for them.
Squash ideas or "freak
out" when they make a state-
ment that you don't like. As
children start to think for them-
selves they sometimes make sur-
prising statements about life,

religion, politics, etc.

Don't stifle

Chaplain (Lt.) Justin Top
this exploration. Encourage it,
but guide it.
Force them to become
what you want them to be-
come. Sometimes parents try
to relive their life through their
children. Whether in sports, aca-
demics or social life, sometimes
parents put too much pressure on
their children without seeking the
child's input.

Do
*Encourage children to
share feelings, opinions, and
ideas. Foster independence and
self-esteem by creating a safe
environment for them to explore
their thoughts and feelings.
Help them explore ideas
and consequences. Rather
than squashing their ideas, help
them really think things through.
Teach them how to analyze,
understand and apply.
Let them be a child.
Exploring, playing, dreaming,
and pushing boundaries are nor-
mal parts of child development.
As long as they stay within the
behavioral limits you have set, let
them discover the world for them-
selves.
Allow your children to be
people of worth. Your children
need to develop their ability to
live a good life without your help.
If you make them psychologically
dependent on you for every deci-
sion you are hurting their emo-
tional development.
Praise them for thinking
things through on their own.

Even if you don't agree with their
conclusions, congratulate them on
the initiative and encourage them
to continue.
When I was in fourth grade,
I decided I was going to build a
raft. I drew up plans and then
I dragged an old wooden pallet
about a mile to my house to use in
construction of the raft.
When my parents saw the pal-
let and heard my plan, they could
tell that my plan was not going to
work. They could have "put their
foot down" immediately and told
me to "get that piece of junk out
of the garage." They could have
even made fun of my silly ideas.
But instead they let me go with it.
There were some serious problems
with my plan.
Some they let me discover and
others they helped me see. I wish
I could say that I eventually fin-
ished it. I actually realized how
silly my idea was and abandoned
it after a couple of days.
My parents could have told me
that from the beginning, but they
let me figure things out. Rather
than squashing my determination
and enthusiasm, they allowed me
to explore for myself. I will always
be grateful for what that did for
my self confidence.

Champs

of the

court

Taking home the top spot
at the NAS Jax Captain's
Cup Doubles Racquetball
Tournament June 25
were MU2(SW) Kelly
daCasta and MU2 Jamie
Kaufman of Navy Band
Southeast.

CNATTU made a
great run through
the winners brack-
et of the intramural soc-
cer playoffs, starting with
a win in the first round
against VP-30.
VP-30 bounced back
from their first round loss
by winning four straight

games through the losers
bracket. They beat FRCSE
in the losers bracket cham-
pionship, setting up a
rematch with CNATTU.
VP-30 took a 2-0 lead,
yet CNATTU came back to
tie the game, forcing a sud-
den death overtime period.
VP-30 finally won, setting
up the next day's champion-
ship match.

Playing in 90+ degree
heat, VP-30 and CNATTU
were 1-1 until VP-30 scored
two goals in the final five
minutes. With the World
Cup Soccer Tournament
just starting up, it was a
fitting season end, as VP-30
defeated CNATTU twice
to come away as the 2010
NAS Jax intramural soccer
champion.

ASK DR. JOE

Check bloodpressure often

By Capt. Joseph McQuade
NH Jax Public Health Director

s we enjoy the glorious summer
months, it's a good time to sharpen
our focus on the big picture of stay-
ing healthy.
Q: Why do healthcare providers
always check and recheck our blood
pressure when we come in to see
them?
Whenever I see a patient at our clinic, I
always check blood pressure. Hypertension,
also known as high blood pressure, causes
one in six deaths among American adults
- a rate that rose 25 percent over the past
decade and now represents the largest
single risk factor for cardiovascular mor-
tality.
President Franklin Roosevelt died from
uncontrolled high blood pressure at the
early age of 62. That so many Americans
are at grave risk from not controlling their
blood pressure should cause everyone to
pause for a moment and consider how well
their blood pressure is controlled.
High blood pressure has become a
"neglected" disease, not given the atten-
tion it deserves despite the simplicity of
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention on a
patient-by-patient basis. Simply stated, we
ingest too much salt. That is the opinion of
a group of scientists working with the U.S.
Institute of Medicine.
Our priority should be population-level
reductions in salt intake, which will call
for involvement by government and institu-
tions at the state and local level as well as
in Washington, they said.
"Every jurisdiction should immediately
begin to consider developing a portfolio of
strategies aimed at reducing dietary sodi-
um intake in their population," they wrote.
Their report also called for other changes

Eu
- ^

in the health environment as keys to popu-
lation-based success:
Increased potassium intake (only 2
percent of adults get the recommended 4.7
g per day). Watermelon, cantaloupe and
bananas are all good sources of potassium.
Greater physician adherence to hyper-
tension screening and treatment guide-
lines. Ask your doctor if your blood pres-
sure is well controlled. Get it down less
than 130/80.
Leveraging community health worker
programs to include hypertension preven-
tion and control. People need to understand
the benefits of walking every night and get-
ting rid of their salt shakers.
*Reducing the cost of antihypertensive
medications to increase adherence to treat-
ment by working with the private sector.
Greater funding for population-based
efforts and interventions. The need for
everyone to know about salt reduction,
weight control and exercise is an important
step to take.
One study projected that cutting back on
daily salt intake by 3 grams (roughly 30
percent), would prevent tens of thousands
of strokes and heart attacks each year,
while even a 1 gram reduction would be
more cost-effective than treatment with the
least expensive blood pressure medication.
Nearly 90 percent of Americans get more
than the recommended 2.4 grams of sodi-
um per day (the equivalent of 6 grams of
salt), the report noted.
Part of the problem is that "the large
majority of sodium in the U.S. food supply
is added in processing and manufactur-
ing of foods, and a large and increasing
amount is used in the fast food industry."
So watch out for the extra salt. It may be
the biggest villain driving your blood pres-
sure up.
